Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles’ POV: 

Once the kids had fallen asleep, I called everyone to the living room to have a family meeting. 

“Why did you call all of us here, Charles? Is something wrong?” my mother asked worriedly. I smiled to alleviate her worries. 

“Tomorrow is Caroline’s birthday. I called you all here, because there’s something I need to discuss with you.”

 “Have you prepared a gift for her, Charles?” Grandma chimed in. 

“That’s precisely why I gathered you all today.” I took out a document and let everyone read it. Upon reading the document, my mother exclaimed, “What? You’re giving up custody of the kids?” 

 Everyone else was also surprised. They wore stern expressions and were in disbelief of what they had just read. Caroline was starting to warm up to me, I could tell. 

And I figured that the best way to show her my sincerity was to do something this drastic.

“I will not allow this, Charles! I don’t agree to this!” My mother’s eyes were filled with indignation.

“I’m not going to give up on the kids. I just want to show Caroline how sincere I am, Mom,” I replied. 

From the bottom of my heart, I firmly believed that Caroline still loved me.

Otherwise, she never would’ve given birth to three beautiful kids for me.

I had hurt her so much because I took her for granted in the past. I wanted to change for the better.

And I hoped that by some miracle, Caroline would give me one more chance to start over with her. 

“But she left the kids behind a year ago, which proves she doesn’t love them at all,” my mother retorted.

“She must’ve been left with no other choice but to leave. If there’s one thing I can guarantee, it’s that nobody loves the kids more than she does.”

I truly believed that Caroline wouldn’t have left without a good reason. As for what happened last year, I planned to conduct an investigation on it. Moreover, I wanted to put more faith in Caroline. 

“Charles, I support you in whatever decision you make. I hope Caroline will see just how sincere you are.” My grandmother was so supportive of my decision.

I must say, it felt nice to hear her words of encouragement. 

“Thank you, Grandma.”

“This is the birthday gift that I prepared for Caroline. Tell her that I wish her a happy birthday.”

Grandma took out a pair of earrings and handed them to me. 

“I’ll bring your gift along. I’m sure that if she finds out that this came from you, it will make her really happy.” I accepted the earrings and smiled at my grandmother.

 “Since you’ve made up your mind, just do it, boy. We will not object,” my father said abruptly.

 “Dad, are you crazy? How can you just let Charles do whatever he wants?” my mother asked, visibly surprised.
